Lyra Persephone Beaulieu

Name: Lyra Persephone BeaulieuBio-Bio: Lyra was born in 1197 in a small town called Epernay in the north of France and lived with her younger brother Dane and father; her mother had died in childbirth. When she turned 15 in the year of 1212 a young boy came to her town proclaiming that god had spoken to him at that all the children in the village must go with him to the holy land. These were later to be called the Children’s Crusade.

Her father being a devout Christian immediately packed what little they had and told her to follow him. With her brother hand in hers and a heavy heart she left her town and journeyed many miles until they reached the Mediterranean from there they were offered free passage to the holy lands on a ship. Though instead of what they promised Lyra and her brother Dane were sold as slaves in Italy. They were brutally beaten and treated very badly by their owner who thought his slaves as less than animals.

There was a pale wealthy man who was a customer of Lyra’s owner who would visit often and always showed her a great deal of kindness. She eventually grew to admire and love this man. After six months of torture the kind man, whose name was Victor, bought Lyra and her brother from the slave owner. He had no wife and treated Lyra and Dane as he would his own children. They lived with Victor for almost two years before an unexpected visitor arrived at the house. A vampire who had a score to settle with Victor, he found the two children and injured them fatally. Victor bit them both to save them from death before being destroyed himself.

Brother and Sister have wandered the old and new worlds since that time keeping away from the general populace only interacting with them to feed. They have a deep bond and are rarely apart. Lyra has an anger that has never dimmed and she has an ability to create fire and take the life of living things. Dane is more controlled and quiet but his power is no less formidable, he is able to sense someone’s deepest fear or joy and make them re-live it. They have only recently decided to reenter the world.
